Nest 1st gen and 2nd gen thermostats no longer supported from Oct 25

"Dumb" home devices work as expected for 25-50 years, and then you replace them.

"Smart" home devices work as expected for about a year and then they fail in new and exciting ways, and then you replace them.

While I agree with the message, I think honesty is important. The Nest gen 3 was released in 2015[1]. People got a 10-14 years out of these devices.

Also, that posts says the thermostat will still work locally so the failure state of the "smart" device here is that it became a "dumb" device after a decade+.

Still 1,000 times better than a dumb device if I can change the temp from my phone without getting out of bed and walking down the stairs and set a schedule on it from my phone rather than navigating the ridiculous UI every dumb thermostat with a schedule function has.
